So McNair didn't have his contract resolved but showed up for offseason workouts anyway.

The unresolved issue was that the Titans wanted to restructure the deal and Steve didn't. They could cut him, or honor the contract, but they couldn't ignore what was in place.

Quote:

In an arbitrator ruling on Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans, lost a battle with Quarterback Steve McNair. The Tennessee quarterback was banned from using the Titan training facility during the off-season, for personal training. The arbitrator ruled that as long as the quarterback still is under contract with the Titans, they couldn't ban him from the premises.
